    Your attention swings from wonders to marvels and back again. You begin to say things to yourself, gasps of surprise, inarticulate sounds of awe, you are troubled with a terrible sense of loss that (as the case maybe) 20,30, or 50 years of your life have passed and gone without you knowing of the ease of entry into this new world...All I ask of each reader is this- don't die without having borrowed, stolen, purchased or made a helmet of sorts, to glimpse for yourself this new world...this unsuspected realm ofgorgeous life and colour existing with us today on the self-same planet earth."  William Beebe, Beneath the Tropic Seas, 1928

    Picture St. Vincent, the largest of these sister islands, as a kite floating in a sea of blue, and the Grenadine islands of Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Mayreau, Palm, Union and Petit St. Vincent, as the ribbons of this exotic kite's tail. Scattered liberally in between these inhabited islands are deserted cays, rocks, sand bars and lagoons all teeming with sea-life and alive with colour. Diving takes place all along this precious chain.

    St. Vincent & the Grenadines is one of those all too rare, virtually undiscovered dive destinations. The diving ranges from the gentle, even lazy, to the exhilarating, and efforts are always made to ensure that you never dive the same dive site twice... unless, of course, you want to!    Most of the dive sites are close to the dive shop bases, a mere ten or fifteen-minute boat ride away. Others, however, may require a slightly longer journey, but one that's filled with the most beautiful Caribbean scenery in the region. And all are well worth the trip.    Due to the sharply rising shorelines, there is no shore diving here and this helps to keep the sites in pristine condition. All the dive boats are well equipped, easily accessible and captained by experienced and helpful staff. The dives are Divemaster-led, and this helps to enhance not only maximum diver safety, but also maximum diver enjoyment.

    St. Vincent, home to a volcano and a rain forest, boasts an almost infinite selection of wall diving sites, and the underwater scenery, complete with pristine corals, will take your breath away (though hopefully not for long!). Nicknamed "Critter Country", make sure you have a fish I.D. book close at hand.
